The Reason Why This Guild Was Created: My Original Rant.

[Blackmager]

This is quite a detailed rant. I dont see a reason why someone would flame you for this. A lot of this is true. Like the one talking about the boys having saggy pants in my school. Yes, and they dont get in troulble. Im a boy to but I dont do that. Trust me, some have saggy pants that reach down t their toes.

Great rant.

I dont plan on haveing sex untill im truely in love and ready. I know that wont be for a long long time. Gool luck and I hope your rant educated some people.  

[TasmanianTiger]

This is a really good rant.
It's much better than the ones my school gives during chasity day. More information and better explanations.
Heh. I know I won't be having sex until after I'm 17. Not ready and there is definatly too much to worry about.  

[CrystalCharm]

I'm just crazy about this rant! For most of my life, I have been understanding and have used common sense. When I was about eleven years old, I was shocked about how many children would have a sexual relationship at their age. I've been wanting to say something about it for the longest time, and now I am so happy that someone understands this as much as I do! During every sentence I read, I was always nodding in agreement. You took the words right out of my mouth. Thank you!

(but still, seventeen or eighteen still seems a little young to me. I'd say twenty-one years would be a good age for sex. I know that it seems a little old, but in these days, younger people have more resposibilities, so it makes them seem older. Twenty-one is an age of maturity. Teenage years are, well, young.)

Thank you!

very good rant, and I have to agree. I'm 18, almost 19, and I only had my first sexual experience [not sex though :p] about a month ago, due to the fact I a) never had a serious relationship, and b) didn't want to risk getting pregnant[unfortunately I'm worried about pregnany right now due to the fact I'm late >_< I think it's just a "placebo" or sympathetic pregnancy though, because I didn't start to have sympotms until the day I thought I was xd ] And I don't plan on having sex until I am COMPLETELY ready for it, whether it be in a month, a year, or five years from now. I hate when young girls dress provocatively, I myself don't dress that way and I can't see why on Earth someone would want their behind to hang out of their skirt or pants o_O My sister lost her virginity at 15 or 16, I don't remember, but I felt dissapointed in her, especially since she's had unprotected sex multiple times and has had to be tested for an STD -__-; She unfortunately seems to fall in the "dumb teenager" category.

Yeah. I thought I'd be ready for love by now. I've wanted to be in a relationship since elementary school. sweatdrop
However, I still have never been in one. But I've been thinking about it a lot lately.......
And I don't even think I'm ready for a relationship yet.
I mean, I've been so careless with love. I desperately have wanted love for how long now.... 8 years? But I've never even put thought into what a relationship means. It doesn't mean making out, or foreplay.
It means love. And I really don't think that many people at or under the age of 15(or older too I suppose, I'm just using my age as an example >_<) understand the meaning of love. I sure don't. But I thought I did for the longest time.
Anyways, I thank you for creating this guild, because it has helped me to really think about things instead of acting out on them just to fulfill my unthoughtful wishes.
Much heart !

Thanks to this "rant" I am officially telling my boyfreind that we are waiting if we do have sex at all. I never really thought all that much about what would happen if I ended up pregnent. I guess I just thought I am not going to have sex anyways, why worry about it? I know it's sad how uneducated I am at 17. I didn't get very good sex ed as a kid, and I never really cared all that much about sex to find out the things that I should have researched.

I am going to try and get our city to have better sex education then they already have, this is just rediculas.  

[Nikolita]

It's understandable. A lto of teenagers, both young and old, are uneducated abotu sex and its risks and consequences. This is usually due to schools not teaching it (or preaching abstinence-only, etc), parents not talking about it, and so on. Combine that with teens who pass misinformation amongst each other and who absorb the media's messages like a sponge, and it's just a big mess waiting to happen.

But you're right, it is ridiculous. If you read this month's issue of Teen Seventeen (with Pink on the cover), there's an article inside about a high school in Timkin (sp?) (I forget the state), in which something like a quarter or a 5th of the girls in the school were pregnant. At 15, 16, 17 mostly. It's really, really sickening.  

[Bondagesecks]

eek gonk
Oh crappella crying It's no wonder that we are over populated. Teens getting pregnent at an early age, and then all this "abortion" stuff. I look forward to having one hundred thousand people in a square kilometer of land in the future.

Also, I heard that people under the age of 18 can't really be punished for performing sexual acts. I find it sorta dumb how there are laws out there that prohibit things like "smoking/chewing tobacco before the age of 18," and when somebody disobays that law, they get heavily punished for it. But when 13 year olds find that it would be fun to have sex, all they get is a telling off.(I have no idea how accurate this is, I haven't researched it; rather I decided to take in what my older brother told me.)  

[Jade-fire]

I have a question... Why do young people feel such a need to have sex? Is it because Media??
Well then again I watch TV all the time, and Cartoons at that.... No sex is in cartoons. Ah... but there is show on TV kid's parents let them see all the time.
Plus, I know at school kids talk about dirty things all the time. They hear this stuff from TV and each other. Maybe it is media, or careless parents.

I am going with careless parents because, well I had careless parent (( not parents .)) My step dad is a porn-o freak. He leaves porn every where, and one time he left the porn channel on OUR TV not the TV in his room, but on OUR TV in the living room. My little sister had alot of questions after that..... Which I have one thing to say about that...
NOT HAVE PORN WHEN YOUR MARRIED WITH KIDS!
Okay my " Rant " is over  

[Nikolita]

There's nothing wrong with porn in a marriage. Many couples can incorporate it into their lives in a harmless way, and can use it as foreplay for sex, and so on. Obviously if there are children in the house then it should be hidden from young eyes until they reach an appropriate age, but mistakes can happen.

I personally think a lack of parenting combined with the media AND today's society gives today's kids a much higher exposure to sex and sexual behavior, without showing/describing the risks and consequences. It's not just one main factor, in my opinion.  

[dreamer001]

Good Job! I liked your Rant! biggrin I am 13 myself, but wow, the other day I saw some poor child who WAS 14 asking what sex is! I told them to go ask a parent. X( I started learning about sex and stuff in the 5th grade. I agree about what you said with the teaching it when kids get older. All around...yes I read the whole thing XD Good job!  

[-Maggz-TBFL]

Hey exclaim ,
Oh my goodness. That definitly was a very large rant, and I found it quite amusing how many times you had to edit it because of new information or complaints. Its nice to see that many ppl actually care and are interested in such a topic.
Im glad I stuck through and read that entire rant though, it was filled with many interesting and bold points, that I never really saw as clearly as you stated. Definitly makes you think, and because of that, you know it was well worth the effort.
Remember, even if it means that youve changed one person's life, its much better then none. heart

Well your
point of view
makes lot of sence. 3nodding
& I like it...
because it's true,
I got a friend
who is 13 years old
& she knew nothing
about sex but she
was already having it. eek

Then I told her all the risks
& she was shocked & all that...

Thanks God she stopped,
cause 10 months
after breaking up with
her stupid boyfriend
she found out he
was going to be a father
& was going to break up
with her girlfriend.

Another thing...

I totally agree with the
not having age if
you're not ready...
But for example me...
I'm 14 (I know I'm to young for sex & that
being gay takes off the risk of pregnancy
but not the other ones)
but if I get a loyal couple
who I can trust
& we are both ok
with the testing (HIV)
& still after that wearing comdoms
& be really carefull...
Why shouldn't we try having sex...
I mean... I know most of my age
aren't mature enough
but that's not my case...
& I wouldn't just date any
guy...
Is it still something wrong???
I am the kind of guy who really
takes care about all that stuff
& would look for a guy that
also do that...
